Accessories Cheap desktop holder (enables Mutlimedia mode)

I created a thread here about finding a 90-degree angle micro USB cable for the Atrix. One thing lead to another and I found out that the supplier of the angled cable I found is a seller of those cheap desktop holders branded "ezeStand".

FAQ (from the ezeStand website):

Does the ezeStand work with the HTC Droid Incredible?

The Droid Incredible fits great in the ezeStand in either portrait or landscape orientation. The USB charging port location however is in a position that does not allow the cable to be plugged in while in portrait orientation. When in landscape orientation, the phone will need to be offset to one side in order to access the USB port. Note that the Droid Incredible does not have a magnetically activated Multimedia Mode like the Motorola Droid phone.

Does the ezeStand come with a USB cable?

ezeStand is currently on sale for $12.99 which does not include a USB cable. USB cables are available on the ezeStand website as an optional accessory for the ezeStand and cables ship free when you place an order for one or more ezeStands. We do currently offer ezeBundle pricing which does include a Right Angle Micro USB cable for $15.99 for a single and $29.99 for a double bundle.


What aftermarket Droid covers or cases with the ezeStand work with?

Although we cannot guarantee that ezeStand will work with every cover or case on the market, it has been tested with cases that are generally available online and in retail stores. Some example cases known to work with the ezeStand are the standard Verizon case, Seidio Case, Otterbox, and Body Glove. The ezeStand will not work with covers or cases that have a belt clip or mounting nub protruding from the rear of the case.

How strong is the ezeStand?


ezeStand is designed with thick walls and plenty of internal ribbing. It is injection molded ABS plastic with 0.070” nominal wall thickness. It is very strong and sturdy. It also has rubber padding on the base and all surfaces that contact the phone to provide protection and prevent the phone and the ezeStand from sliding around when using the touch screen.

What is the Multimedia Mode?

The Multimedia Mode is an exclusive Motorola Droid & Milestone feature which changes the user interface when it is plugged into a Multimedia dock or stand. The Multimedia Mode interface presents the user with soft keys for Weather, Music, Pictures, Light Dimmer, and Alarm Clock.

How does ezeStand activate the Multimedia Mode on the Droid?

ezeStand has an embedded magnet similar to the official Motorola Multimedia Dock. When the Droid phone is placed in proximity to the magnet, the multimedia mode is activated. The ezeStand is only designed to activate the multimedia mode when the Droid is place in landscape orientation.

How is ezeStand different from other stands on the market?

ezeStand allows the user to place the phone in any orientation and still be able to use the touch screen features of the phone without worry about it falling over. It can also activate the Droid Multimedia mode and allows for charging cables to be plugged in. It has been designed to make sure it does not block the Droid rear speaker and is very effective as a speaker phone stand. The ezeStand has also been designed for high volume manufacturing and can be marketed at a greatly reduced price in comparison to the competition.

Can I purchase the ezeStand without a Paypal account?

You don't have to have a Paypal account to purchase. If you proceed to the checkout window, there is a selection on the left hand side of the screen that allows you to use your credit card without logging in to Paypal. This is still a secure transaction handled by Paypal, but does not require an account.

Can I purchase the ezeStand elsewhere?

ezeStand is currently sold on eBay and Amazon.com. Simply search for ezeStand on either of these sites for the latest listing. Note that the prices on eBay and Amazon are slightly higher than here on the ezeStand website due to commision fees associated with online retailers.

I ordered the classic stand bundle which includes: The stand + 1 vehicle charger + 1 home charger + 2 angled USB cables. It says there $24.99 with free shipping, But I was charged $6 during check out to ship to FL.
Still cheap though. I'll post my opinion of it once I have it.

I've seen "universal" stands like that at the discount stores. I wonder if any of them would work. Seems perfect if you have a blue tooth keyboard and mouse and do the little trick to enable webtop.
 
You could just create your own 'universal' stand. I was bored one day at work and created one with binder clips. :D

The rubber bands were mainly to keep it from slipping, but actually make it more solid. It works nice...I can stand it either in portrait or landscape. Sorry I don't have pics with the phone on the stand.
