Love how he packages his docks though. I got scared at first, thought the dock was going to be the size of a toaster oven.

This has made me laugh out loud a few times. I do go a bit overboard with packing but I've worked too hard on these to let UPS ruin my day.

I'm glad you all received them in good shape :)

I replied to all the PM's that I may have missed.

This is something I built until my Spigen stand arrives. I like it so much I might keep it. My son has a bin with over 2000 legos so I am sure he wont miss these 50 or so pieces. The Mini figures are the perfect size to hold the chord. I also have some other lego hooks for chord management. I went with the Star Wars theme. I usually tuck the watch band underneath so it looks more uniform. I plan on re-doing it at some point and using some Crazy glue so it doesnt come apart.

By far I feel your stands look the best. I will send you a dm.

I've been keeping my eyes on this night stand. It looks pretty good to me. Not the cheapest one but for 30$, seems like a good price. Can anyone tell me some feedback on this brand?

This is the only stand I'm interested in. I'm tempted to pre-order (I've heard good things about the manufacturer) but I'm waiting for reviews and photos of the final product.

sorry forgot to post pic

i only wish there was one more colour. Im thinking of buying one more for the office but wish they had black or gold

I ordered this one as well. Like you, thinking of ordering a second one for the office. I think it's the best combination of build quality, function and price; especially considering it holds the iPhone as well.

Personally, I think it's ridiculous to spend $60, $70, $80 or more for a mere stand to charge your watch. This was just $17.99 with free shipping (even to Canada!). It's easy to get carried away, but this is purely a functional item for me. It does the job, and does it well for a great price.

I'm going with the Mophie watch dock. I ordered one on Saturday, but then I found out they were at Best Buy. The website said that orders wouldn't be shipping until Tuesday due to the holiday, and that to cancel an order you have to call the customer service number. I called the number today (Monday), and they were closed, as expected. Then later in the evening I got a shipment notification... Ugh... So I'm calling them first thing in the morning to see if it can still be canceled. Maybe they just printed a label but didn't actually ship it yet.

Anyway, I like that stand because it's simple and minimalistic, looks good and solid, has nice cord management, and is facing the direction I prefer (I'd like to grab the watch with my right hand, so I prefer that side to be open, unlike the Nomad stand which is open on the left). I'll be trying it out tomorrow!

I haven't really seen a dock that is available on the market yet that appeals to me. They all seem oversized and cumbersome.
I quite like the ElevationLab as its not obstructive but would prefer a dual docking station to charge my phone. Hopefully more docks will come out on the market soon

It's just the lightning and effects! The dock is aluminium like the iMac and very high quality product!

Heh. I really didn't expect it to be as tiny and thin as it is. Me, I'm going to be painting mine to better match my space black watch (whenever the hell it arrives) :) Just wondered if you had already done so. :)

Really no benefit to it being the iMac like aluminum unless you're going to have it on your desk next to an iMac. :)

Actually both the Spigen, and the Mophie open on the same side.

I have it near my iMac, so it looks like the small brother:)

Hmmm, I have the Spigen stand and mine is open on the right side. I'm right handed and this works well for me. Maybe I have it backwards :confused:
