This article really loves that dock, but I've heard mixed things about it on reddit (/r/nexus4). In particular, the phone slides off when it gets dusty, because the dock is NOT in fact magnetic (as the article mentions). You can tell (apparently) because if you put a piece of paper behind the phone, it isn't held up at all. The phone is completely held up by the rubber rings on wireless charger. I don't have the wireless charger though, it's a bit expensive for me; maybe someone else here on Hackernews has some more concrete opinions?
- vivekpreddy 14y agoI have a Nexus 4 and the dock. Honestly, it was an impulse buy and doesn't add much value, but it's worked great for me so far. I haven't had a problem with the phone getting dusty so haven't noticed slippage. The dock does charge incredibly fast and the design is wonderful, but it doesn't really provide the value that you'd expect for the extra $30, but it is still pretty cool.
- MatthewPhillips 14y agoI returned mine because the 3 nights I used it my phone was dead in the morning. The connection is very sensitive and if the phone slides a millimeter it loses the connection and you have to manually nudge it to gain the connection again.
- mdwrigh2 14y agoIt just requires cleaning the dock every 2 - 4 weeks in order for it to "stick". It's a nice accessory to sit on your desk though.
