Charging cradle?

[Cherenkov]

I see a bunch of generic ones on Amazon. Having had my S7 battery swell up I’m not sure I trust a $10 desk cradle with a $1000 phone.

I miss wireless charging already.

But a legit OEM one?

@Cherenkov If you don't mind not fast charging all the time, I have this one and this one. They both work fine with my OG Pixel XL.

I just picked up a call and nearly yanked the cord out of the wall because I forgot I wasn't on wireless charging, so I think for now I'm willing to give up fast charging for a better solution than this. I'll check these out, thanks!

Which one of these do you like better? I had the RND one for my Nexus 5x and liked it until two days ago when the plastic piece holding the charging port broke and now it won't stay in the dock.

I actually prefer the other one. It's not as stable as the RND one, but I like it a bit better and it looks nicer IMO.

Just got it ordered. We'll see how it does with 2 XL.

This (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/265983363/sarvi-dock-a-universal-dock-for-apple-and-android ) is by far the best dock I have ever owned.... It is a Kickstarter campaign for their newest dock (I have a gen 2)... It does support quickcharging... But you'll have to wait till next year to get it... Normally, when they are gone, they are gone.

Still using last years dock and the upside, it that no matter what phone I have or get, it will always fit.... Case or no case... It will also work as a sync base.... and it sticks pretty well.... Never grabbed my phone and had the dock come unmounted... I have even moved the dock to a couple of different locations and it locks down pretty solid...

With those interchangeable tips the Pixels will Rapid Charge on this?

That is the indication from the materials on the site....

Have any new cradles come out in the last two months? I'd like to get one for my nightstand but am wondering if there are any options besides the ones already mentioned here.

someone posted this cradle on a different thread here https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01JK9QI7K/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=ISNW34C4JPX3E&colid=2O6FP0BUYLPGA&th=1 and I figure on getting it soon enough after I move into my new crib in a few days. They said it worked with the pixel 2 xl just dandy and quick charged it.

Just buy a super long usb cable charging cable then you can yank the phone all you like the cable will remain in place and you can use the phone and charge at the same time.

Google Pixel 2 XL Desktop Charging Dock by Encased - Type C Charger for Pixel (Case compatible) (Aluminum/Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0779F2CD...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU6140363

I got this one. It gets part of the job done. It stands the phone up so I can roll over in bed and see the time. It's fast charging. I have certain action set to trigger when the phone goes on a dock. That's the only area in which it fails. The phone doesn't recognize this as a dock just that it is plugged into a charger.
