I've been using charging docks since my Blackberry 8330 days. They make life simple in my opinion. I just purchased the Twelve South Charging stand for my Wife and I, now we don't have to actually pick up the iPhone to see messages in or out of bed....SMILE:D

Never really used one. I had the old apple one for the 4S but I always use Mophie cases. I might actually buy the dock they have to see how it works.

The closest thing to a charging dock that I have is the Belkin Conserve ValetImageUploadedByTapatalk1390750720.012486.jpg

I had the apple dock for my 5s, and I was always worried I would damage or scratch the phone putting it in or out so I returned it. I had an elevation dock too, but felt it never fit my 5 or 5s right so the girlfriend has it. I have given up on docks for the time being.

I used to use one with my 4s, but hated the need to take it out of the case at night. Now that I'm back on iOS and have both a 5s and a retina mini, I might give that 12 south a serious look.

One of the things I like about the Twelve South HiRise Charging stand is that it's compatible with MANY types of cases. I'ts nice not having to remove a case to charge my iPhone

I just looked at the Mophie Charging dock....NICE. If I used my Mopie Air as an everyday case instead of an extra battery, this would be something I would look into.
