Seidio Innodock Jr. Desktop Cradle for iPhone 3G and 3GS - Black

The apple universal dock is $50 and doesn't accommodate a case. This product is compatible with my brand new 3G iphone and it fits nicely with its rubberized case. The design is simple and sleek (although I would probably prefer if it didn't have the small silver square around the power button) and comes with a black USB cord, unlike some other brands. This is a truly good buy and you should have zero reservations about ordering.

I found this while searching for a charging cradle for the iPhone 4 that would work with the iPhone 4 bumper in place. There are some negative reviews, but for less than twenty bucks I figured I could take a chance. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now, and it's perfect. It charges and syncs my iPhone 4 without me having to remove the bumper, and even looks reasonably good sitting on my desk cradling the phone. I personally like it well enough that I just ordered a second one for my home office.

PROS: It works as intended. Some people keep complaining that it doesn't synch or doesn't charge, I've experienced nothing of the sort (maybe they're using ancient iPods or something, mine's an iPhone). Also, you can have a clothed iPhone fit just as well on this dock. For some reason the competing docks are useless, all of them have fitted cradles so that if you have any kind of protection on your iPhone they're useless. So at least this thing works as advertised.

CONS: It's expensive for what it is, basically a generic looking charging dock. Also, the USB cable provided has an unusually big/long USB jack, it sticks out about a full inch behind the charging dock and they don't show you that in the pictures. I suspect it's because they cheaped out on the USB cable and it's a very old design or surplus cables. I will change the cable and see if I can get something that is less bulky on my desk, but at this price point I'd have hoped I don't have to buy my own cable.

I ordered this dock because I wanted a dock that would work with my iPhone 4 with Apple's Bumper installed and this case works. I deducted one star because the iPhone fit in the dock is a bit sloppy but not a problem.

The dock needs to be plugged directly in to the USB ports on the motherboard of your computer. In my situation, it would not work using an extension USB cord, front USB ports, or the ports on the back that were on a bracket. The only port that allowed the dock to charge my wife's iPhone 3GS were the ports directly on the motherboard where all the other connections are (audio, mouse, keyboard and such).
