When I first bought it, I thought it was great, but now I attribute that feeling to my euphoria of being a new android owner. Now i feel like it's an (very) expensive holder/charger. It is nice as a bedside clock, but after almost a month, that's all it still is. The "Desk Home" app is almost worthless, hardly any features worth mentioning. My biggest gripe is having to take the case/cover off, every time I want to drop it in the cradle. Not a real big problem for some, but it's gotten old for me. It doesn't charge an extra battery, just the phone, and it doesn't connect to my desktop computer, no HDMI, just a line out for audio.. In my case, It was money I could of used on perhaps a car dock instead. Just my two cents.....
