May 4, 2015 10:39 AM in response to sazimby cmeyer115,I'm not good for waiting on things to come out so I went for the Morphie watch dock. I have a separate Morphie juice pack dock for my iPhone 6 but I like some of the ideas for a combined one. The dock ships early this month http://www.mophie.com/shop/apple-watch-dock. Good luck finding one!

May 6, 2015 4:14 AM in response to deggieby sazim,I LOVE your project! Unfortunately, on a teacher's salary I cannot afford the $119 after the huge purchase just made.
Best of luck on your business. I'm sure it will be successful and , maybe one day, I will be able to have it at my house.

May 6, 2015 7:58 AM in response to deggieby needleman_mark,for the same price the indegogo looks better (in my opinion)

May 6, 2015 8:37 AM in response to needleman_markby sazim,This one is even more expensive. I actually like the look and size of the one mentioned by deggie, but thanks for your input.

May 7, 2015 4:13 AM in response to deggieby sazim,Hi deggie! I'd just decided to pull the plug and use the GC's I received for the holidays from my students on your(?) project.It looks compact and well thought out.
I went to the site only to find that funding has been suspended. Not being familiar with Kickstarter, I'm not sure if that means this is the end of the project or if it's 'an intermission' in funding. Can you explain to me? Thanks!

May 7, 2015 6:42 AM in response to nick101by sazim,I'm disappointed. I liked the set up of this one for my watch with Milanese band. So I guess I'm back to square one. Has anyone found a good combination charger that comes with extra charging cable for the watch?

May 11, 2015 4:16 AM in response to sazimby sazim,I saw this stand Bandstand from Standzout (http://gobandstand.com/) and liked the look and minimalist approach to charging both my watch and phone. I'm a bit confused about whether it comes with its own charger or not, though. Obviously, I would prefer the former, since then my charger could serve as an emergency one when out of the house, but do not know if this is so.
What do you think?

May 11, 2015 4:21 AM in response to sazimby needleman_mark,from the looks of it it looks like you have to provide the charging cable - thats true of just about all the charging stands currently available or being developed

May 11, 2015 4:29 AM in response to needleman_markby sazim,I'd seen this write up on igeeksblog " Bandstand Apple Watch dock has been built to charge the grand Watch with utmost ease. This charging stand features an inductive charger which remains in the dock as a result powering up your watch becomes quite comfortable. You can simply put your Apple Watch on the stand to charge and pull it off to remove from charging." I wasn't sure if that meant my cable or theirs.

May 20, 2015 12:19 PM in response to sazimby Brobes447,I haven't ordered it yet but I think I'm going to get the Orzly DuoStand. It's very simplistic but gets the job done. I'll wait to order and electronic doc until there are some real reviews out there.

May 20, 2015 3:47 PM in response to Brobes447by sazim,I looked at that one, but for some reason, I just couldn't pull the plug and order it.
I really loved the Unify dock, but it didn't get funded. One of the things I loved was that it came with its own charging cable, leaving the original one to be kept in a briefcase or handbag. I liked the size of it, and the simplicity of it, too. Supposedly, they are going to manufacture at a lower price point after joining forces with a larger company. I'll probably wait to see what ocmes in the near future before ordering anything.
For now, I'm using the watch insert that came with my watch and a velvet cloth on which to place it. I hope you like the Orzly.

May 20, 2015 3:52 PM in response to sazimby deggie,The Unify people have apparently found an investor and this is why they pulled their crowdfunding campaign. They are pursuing the product so keep your eyes open.

May 20, 2015 4:40 PM in response to deggieby sazim,Yes, I had heard that, so I'm fine waiting to see what comes out.i hope it comes down a bit in price, though.

Aug 28, 2015 1:49 PM in response to sazimby mgarciaad,I have been looking for the same thing but can't find something worthwhile. I want a very small real estate solution, not taking up too much space on my desk.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/343524485/night-stand This kickstarter is my ideal solution but for some reason it never got funded, they seem to have given up. The second best solution I found is this http://www.thingiverse.com/make:154463
I have it 3D printed by a local printer on 3Dhub.com and it works pretty well. I just wish it was prettier looking. Takes some modifications but it works great once it's tweaked. Still on the look out for a better, more elegant solution.
