Ordered the Bluelounge MiniDock (UK variant) from bluelounge.com for USD$19.95 (~SGD$24.20). It was my first purchase over the website as the MiniDock is not yet sold in Singapore.

The shipping cost is about USD$4.15 (~SGD$5) via USPS (First Class Mail International Parcels). This shipping method is the cheapest but it is delivered via normal mail when it reaches Singapore as it does not come with a tracking number. Also my box is a little bit damage, but at just SGD$5 for shipping, I can’t really complain much. My item was shipped on 20th August 2011 and I received it on 8th September 2011 (about 20 days).

As the name suggest, this product is a dock that allows you to plug directly to Apple USB Power Adapter and dock your iPhone, iPod Nano/Touch directly to it without the need for any Apple Dock Connector to USB Cable. It is really good for travelling as often the power socket in a hotel room is always located at awkward position and you do not want to place your device on the floor with a wire connected to it as it is dirty and you might trip over it.

When I first got my iPhone 3G back in 2008, I searched high and low for the dock adapter for my universal dock. I could not find it on Apple Singapore Online Store or in any authorized Apple Reseller Shops.

I only got it a year after (in 2009) when I went to Taiwan for my graduate trip and I saw it selling in an authorized Apple Reseller Shop.

When I bought the iPhone 4, I was thinking how to get the dock adapter for the iPhone 4.

One day I was browsing iPhone 4′s accessories on Apple Singapore Online Store and to my surprise they are selling the Apple iPhone 4 Universal Dock Adapter for SGD$14 and of course, I immediately bought it.

Today, I received the adapters and out of curiosity, I did a search for iphone dock adapter in the store and it seems they are selling the iPhone 3G/3GS Universal Dock Adapter now as well.

The Desk Genie Non-Slip Charging Desk Stand as the name suggest, is a non-slip charging stand that holds your mobile phone while it charges. In addition to that, it acts as a 8-in-1 memory card reader as well as a 2 port USB hub.

Received my Apple iPhone 3GS / 3G USB Desktop Sync & Charge Cradle from MobileFun yesterday. It is a good alternative to the Apple iPhone 3G Dock (£22) and Apple Universal Dock (£36) because it cost only £9.99 and it works exactly the same.

It comes with the cradle, the MiniUSB to USB cable and the charger head.


Charger Head


Cradle – Front View


Cradle – Back View

You can either charge and sync your iPhone 3G/3Gs with the cradle by connecting the USB cable to your computer or just choose to charge your iPhone 3G/3GS by connecting the charger head to a power outlet.


Cradle With iPhone 3GS – Front View

There is a blue LED light on the right side of the cradle to indicate that there is power coming to the cradle.


Cradle With iPhone 3GS – Side View

As you can see, my iPhone 3GS fits perfectly into the cradle and I like the plastic backing because it is pretty high and give the iPhone a pretty good back support. That is important to me because sometimes I type on my iPhone while it is still docked in the cradle.

Most of the stuff on my table are black, my monitor, my television, my keyboard and even my mouse. The only white colored things around is my table itself and my Apple’s Universal Dock. This black cradle is perfect for all black iPhone users because it blends well with your black iPhone 3G/3GS and even the devices/gadgets on your table.

You can get the Apple iPhone 3GS / 3G USB Desktop Sync & Charge Cradle for £9.99 (including taxes but excluding shipping).
