Accessories Generic desk top chargers?

I have seen several desktop chargers on Amazon and ebay for around $20. Anyone used one if these? Can any if the docks be used with a case on the phone? I would sure like to have one for my desk at work so I can stop hauling a usb cable in my purse.

I got the one off of Amazon and it works, however you do have to remove the case that is covering the phone. The other thing is the spare battery charger in the back charges extra batteries, but some batteries are either too big and too small, making it useless.

I haven't received it yet, but I placed an order and the website says that they have 609 in stock.




I ordered it here: htcPEDIA

It's $39.99 and I got free shipping.

Hope it's a good one. It's exactly what I've been waiting for!
 
The Dock pictured above "DOES NOT" work with a case on it, the OP asked about a Dock that worked with a case.

Well, considering that this seems to be the only type of dock available ANYWHERE, I think that it's better than nothing.

Can't be picky when there was nothing available to begin with.

Anyway, dude... I was just trying to pass along some information. No need to bite my head off!

Did you absolutely HAVE to spam that dock on EVERY dock post on this forum?? Once would have probably been enough...

Dude, what's the problem? All of these posts are old and I wanted to make sure that everyone who was interested in a dock at some time got an update - that is if they even still have a subscription to the threads.

I'm not the only one who's completely disappointed with the availability of accessories for the Incredible. I got excited when I found the dock and wanted everyone else who was also waiting to know.

Just trying to cover bases. Glad to see that the only people still monitoring these old threads are those who give me a hard time about passing information.

I'm not monitoring these threads, I just noticed a half-dozen more more threads with the same last poster, all of them having to do with docks/charging, so I THEN checked it out. While it's great you've decided to post about this dock, you didn't nead to cross-post the same thing half dozen+ times, once would have probably sufficed... It comes off like you're personally vested in the success of the dock (not to say you are, but that was my first thought).
 
His relentless posts helped me find the type of dock I was looking for. So I for one am grateful to him.

Glad I could help. I don't know how I feel about "relentless", though. I was thinking more like "persistent"...?

Anyway, just an FYI to everyone buying this dock. I received it and it works perfect, but there are a few fine points to consider:

1. I purchased this mostly to use my phone as a bedside clock. In that respect, the dock has two LED's on it that are constantly illuminated while it is plugged in. The green one by the spare battery charger is not too bad, but the blue one in front of the screen is wicked bright. I would say brighter than my screen at 25%.

2. The DROID Incredible is not a dock-capable device. In case anyone wants to do the same, I used Tasker to have the phone switch to Gentle Alarm when I plug it into the dock. I set Tasker to start the app on two contexts: power via USB and orientation on the left side. Seems to work well, but I haven't really looked to see if Tasker is a battery hog yet.

Another FYI- I have tried every night clock and alarm app I could find and Gentle Alarm has the dimmest night clock of all of them. You can even set it to automatically turn off after five seconds and turn back on with a simple tap of the screen.

Just in case anyone else plans to use it for the same purpose.
 
I have two reasons I wanted one:

1.) I find it easier to use the phone when it's charging if it's in a cradle because the cord\plug doesn't get in the way all the time.

2.) When I go on trips and stay in a hotel room or when i'm working from home, I can watch one of the movies I have on my sdcard without having to hold the phone in landscape mode, plus it will charge at the same time so i'm not draining the battery.

The relentless thing wasn't meant as a shot towards you. I was simply referring to the comments heffe2001 made about all of your posts.
