Holder style design to protect your apple watch;three angle for your ipad and iphone stand.
Steady holder design let your apple watch stand on your desk safely;

Just got my Spiegen stand!! Said it wouldnt ship till mid -August but it arrived today.
Its Awesome. Its got a slightly sticky base (not sure how well that would travel but its GREAT for home) - Fits the SB watch amazingly! Its really nice and soft to the touch. The charger port has a little convex shape to it, so it stays in nicely. and the best part. The base it rests on so even my heavy SB Link bracelet will sit nicely on it!
Couldnt be happier for $11 on amazon!!
Pics shortly.

Ditto. I hadn't thought much more about it once I ordered a couple weeks ago since the ship date was a bit out, but was very pleased to see it in the mailbox today. It will really shine with nightstand mode in watchOS2.

Would you mind taking a "bird's eye view" pic from the top with your Watch band resting on it please?

I'm happy with this Poetic stand I just got. It's a great two in one stand for the watch and the phone. My nightstand is clutter free now. The nice thing is that even with my stainless steel band I can put my watch in either direction. This will be helpful when apple come out with the next update for the nightstand mode...

I'm not sure what angle the Watch needs to be for Nightstand mode and if yours is leaning back too much. May also be the photo exaggerating it.

While the Stand is nice and looks well made, I find the cabling for the Watch charger rather messy. Not sure if it would've worked had they included a channel, but as the Watch portion is rather high up, the cable at the back seems messy and the designers just thought, "stuff it."

No issue with the watch sliding off? I was reading several Amazon reviews and this was mentioned as a problem, particularly with the stainless steel bands.

Just got mine this week (ahead of schedule) and I think it's a keeper. It's small, inexpensive, and is ready for watchOS 2.0 nightstand mode. I tried Fuz Design (Fuz Dock) and ElevationLab (Night Stand) but they'll need to be redesigned for nightstand mode and were more expensive.

So I decided to purchase this stand from Zurske (link below) and I have to say that I am overwhelmed by the quality and aesthetics. I would highly recommend this stand to anyone that prioritizes appearance alongside function. I know the price is a bit spendy, but it's totally worth it considering I will be using it and looking at it on a daily basis. Here are some pics!

What are your thoughts on the possibility of scratching the Stainless Steel Watch and link bracelet?

I keep refreshing the tracking on my W3. Cannot wait for it to arrive!

I know I check the thread every day looking for a review and I was glad to see it had been reviewed by "9to5 Mac". It looks like it will be an awesome dock just based on the review and how it's constructed. I can't wait to order one on next Friday I have always wanted to charge my phone and mini together and now the Apple Watch too. Do they charge right away when your order or not until they ship it?

I'm getting one for review so I'll be addressing all your questions once it gets here. I'm in contact with Ty from Zurske at the moment so if you have any questions, hit me up and once it gets here I'll make a thorough video on it.

I backed it on Kickstarter, so I don't know.

I like the Spigen S350 because it is so minimalist but think I will use it exclusively for travel after receiving my Poetic Loft today. I really like having both devices on one stand (vs. having my phone lying flat on the nightstand) and the viewing angle for both is great from my bed. I watched a couple YouTube videos tonight on the phone and the angle was perfect. Hard to beat the value/quality of $15 shipped via Amazon Prime for this one.

I'll post here as well.
I posted this quick review of the ThanksCase Charging Station on the Ladies thread.
So. I got the ThankCase Charging Station today. It's normally $99 but I got it on sale at Amazon for a good deal on the link below. However after spending some time putting it together, I realize I wouldn't have bought this even for $20 because it was too much of a hassle to put together.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00TGXQHT0?vs=1

Pros:
It's stylish and you have the ability to charge one iPhone through the charging dock simultaneously with the Watch. You can also on front of the iPhone align another iPhone or an iPad or charge an iPad instead of an iPhone through the lighting cable's dock end.

Cons:
Extremely difficult to put together.
They include 6 normal size screws and 2 small ones for the bottom of the stand, 2 handles that stick up to receive the watch cable coming down from the dock itself and although placed rightfully on the rest of the bottom dock, it's extremely difficult to keep the cable aligned in and out of the back of the station.
It took me an hour to put together.
At first I thought it would be easy to set up but sadly the instructions are barely legible so it was a guessing game for me. Screwing the black part of the docks down was the hardest of it all and what took longer the most.

Overall it is a nice dock but it is complicated to say the least and although you seem to get a good charging station for the price, a dock set up should never have to be this complicated.
I bought it so you didn't have to, and now if you buy it'll be at your own discretion.
Also you can charge your iPhone with a case but not the watch which makes it easier to scratch.
Took several photos and well, about 25 of them so here they go.

Sorry for the crazy amount of photos but I wanted to post detailed photos of the dock. I hope they're appreciated.
I used my son's iPhone for the demo and I took all photos with my 6+.
