Review: Seidio Innodock Jr. Desktop Cradle

There'southward something about having a loftier-end phone laying prone on your desk-bound that only seems wrong. Is it just me, or is getting a dock for that shiny new Touch Pro 2 a high priority for anyone else? Seidio is i of those manufacturers that are actually 1 of the get-to companies when it comes to accessories for Windows phones. A prime example of that is the Innodock Jr. Desktop Cradle.

Features

The Innodock Jr. is pretty lacking in features. Power is achieved through the included USB cable, which is a male-to-male USB-A type cablevision. There are a couple of issues that I have with this. Showtime of all, if you lose the cable, information technology'due south not all that mutual; and then replacing it would exist harder than it needs to exist. Secondly, at that place is no power brick, which means if you are away from a computer this won't piece of work out of the box. Another thing that I would have liked to see was an audio port, but there is none to be constitute in this particular product.

On a positive notation, this dock is compatible with all of Seidio'south Skins, Innocases, and Extended Batteries. This is adequately uncommon for a example manufacturer, as all of these products modify the "footprint" or size and shape of the device.

Build Quality

When information technology comes to a product made by Seidio, quality is something that yous virtually don't demand to talk about because it's actually non an issue. Everything near the Innodock Jr. is solid and stable. The only matter that gives me pause is the actual extUSB port. Seidio has designed this dock so that the extUSB plug is built on a swivel, then that you can place the telephone in the dock and then lean it back against the dock. This is how they are able to brand the dock compatible with all of their other products.

Conclusion

Seidio ever makes quality products, and the Innodock Jr. is no exception. While the $29.95 price tag is a fiddling high, I remember the fact that the dock is compatible with Seidio's other product lines makes upward for that. If you're not using a Seidio case or extended bombardment this product probably isn't the best pick for the price; just if you are already a Seidio customer, this is a winner. Make tracks over to the WMExperts Shop to pick i up.
