Cradle for iPhone 4?

[MotionMan]

Do you use one? If so, which one? And why?

What do you mean? Like a desk dock?

Car dock?

Maybe some kind of carrying case?

Something like this for the iPhone 4:

I use the one from my original iPhone. There is a gap from where the phone meets the dock, but it fits fine and is totally stable.

I have 2 iPhone 4's, a 3g and a new Touch. I have a cradle for one of the 4's and the 3g.

I am not happy with the cradle for the 4 and am looking for something to replace it with. I do not like how the 4 sits in the 3g's cradle.

I'm still using my 1st gen cradle on my 3G. Holding out for ver 5 before I upgrade.

I'm using a Belkin dock for my iPhone:

I like it 'cause it'll fit an iPhone with most cases as long as the dock connector isn't blocked.

Interesting, but much too big for my purposes.

Did you find what you were looking for?

Yesterday I wound up getting an iPhone 4 off of someone on Craigslist and spent an hour at the local MicroCenter today looking for a dock solution that didn't suck.

I had a $50 giftcard otherwise I'd have gone done the road to Fry's and probably would of had a wider selection of options.

I ended up buying the Apple Universal Dock for sixty damn dollars, got it home and there isn't an insert in there that'll actually fit my iPhone 4 with a very slim case on it.

So looks like I'll be returning it tomorrow but there is seriously nothing else that they carry in store that looks any better.

I'd really love a dock that works for both the iPhone 4 with a case on it and the iPad 2 with a case as well.

If anyone knows of anything out there like that, please let me know.

You have to buy a third party dock insert from Synthecept (Lyco Adapter) to fit the iPhone 4 w/ case into the universal dock.

I am still looking.

My iPhone does not have a case, so I do not have to worry about that.

Apple makes a dock specifically for the iPhone 4. You don't like that one?

Cost too much.

[Synomenon]

It's $29 vs. $79 for the universal dock.

I still think that is too much. 3rd parties made them for the 3 that were cheaper. I would like to find one for the 4 that is cheaper.

Any of these cheap enough for you?

Thanks but I don't do eBay (or PayPal) anymore.

Wow, you're hard to help.

I give up.

I have the Apple iPhone 4 dock but I don't use it because it doesn't work with the iPhone bumper case.

It's basically cheap stuff, but for as long as I keep cell phones, I'd rather buy the cheap crap, I usually do a $50 or so order and apply some coupons...

http://www.techbargains.com/vendor_detail.cfm/286/Cell-Phone-Shop-coupon-code

Shipping takes about 2 weeks.

What do you mean by "cheap"? As in crappy?
