Like many of you, I happily unwrapped a new Nexus 5 this weekend, and now I’m on the hunt for some Nexus 5 accessories. One that immediately caught my eye on the Mobile Fun website was this Cover-Mate Nexus 5 Case-Compatible Charging Dock. It’s functional, convenient, and stylish – let’s take a closer look.
Functional
So when you buy a charging dock, you’re looking for a functional piece – something that will charge up your phone quickly, as well as allowing files to be copied and other media to be synced while you’re connected to a PC. Thankfully, this dock does both duties with aplomb. You’ll benefit from the full charging speed of your Nexus 5 AC adapter, 1.2A, ensuring rapid recharges.
Convenient
Half of the battle is charging, and the other half is convenience – when you’re using a dock, you want to both get a convenient desk stand for your phone as well as minimise the time it takes to plug in a cable. Again, both are upheld here – the stand holds the phone at a convenient portrait orientation that’s ideal for spotting incoming notifications, launching apps and surfing the web. There’s no landscape support here, so you’ll want to take the phone out of the case to watch movies – a necessary drawback to a fixed position dock.
Slotting the Nexus 5 onto the microUSB charging point is also quicker than plugging in a cable – you’ll always get it the right way around first time! The dock is also case-compatible, so there’s no need to shed your Nexus 5 cover before getting your charge on.
Stylish
The Google Nexus 5 is a good looking phone, and you’ll want a nice looking cradle to go with it. Like the phone itself, this Nexus 5 charger comes in a conservative black colour and is gently rounded. It’s a stylish look that doesn’t make too much of itself, and definitely fits in with the design philosophy of the phone.
Conclusion
So there we have it – the Cover-Mate Case-Compatible Charging Dock. This dock is coming soon to Mobile Fun, so check out the product page linked below for live availability and pricing information, as well as additional photos.
