MIKRADLE - It Simply Does... The Dock Where All Covers Are Accepted

[cuskit]

Mike,
I don't know why I didn't think of recessing the face of the MIKRADLE. I would think that a 1.75" by 1.75" recess with a 1/4" offset from the magnet might just due the trick. You could even incorporate the speaker hole into it...... The measurements are just a guess. but I bet you measure twice and cut once! Me, not so much...... THE R&D is free today btw.

Geoff, This is why I've asked Seidio for the cover (I even asked for a non-working battery), but haven't yet received an answer. I really didn't want to buy one as I get by fine with the stock battery.. But I do get enough inquiries that I suppose I should just purchase one outright. But you have to try for the free one first, right? Most of the other companies did comp me covers - all of which I sent back after asserting that they did indeed fit okay.

Measure twice and cut once? Who, me? Nahhhhh!

Thanks again!

Sam: Doug hooked me up here a few days ago. We actually completed the paperwork over a month ago, but my website has been holding things back - so he moved forward and set me up here! He's the best! And maybe you'll be winning a MIKRADLE from Tiggers contest. Or a piece of one... See my post http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dro...reciation.html mikey

Wow! First MIKRADLE to ship "down under"! I'd like to thank DD from Queensland, Australia for being the first MIKRADLE buyer from his country!


That adds Australia to the MIKRADLE International Shipping list: Japan, Spain, Germany, France and England! Not bad! I'm thinking of for my website (upcoming, someday...) posting a World Photo with stars showing all countries and states where I've shipped a MIKRADLE to.

Feeling proud for a country boy - mikey!

Tigger,

Germany is listed..

The map on my OP - yea, I just may do that!

Now, where did I put my crayons... I'll wait until I've got maybe four more countries - an even ten (not counting USA). I did ship to Alaska! mikey

Beginning Tuesday, Feb 23, ALL MIKRADLES will include a FREE 6' High Quality MicroUSB Gold Plated 28/24AWG with Ferrite Core Cable. This cable is FREE and will be supplied with each MIKRADLE sold. I would add that at the moment our supply of cables is limited, but a new order is due in within 4 days. Any MIKRADLE ordered while this FREE cable is not in stock will have the cable shipped separately immediately upon our receiving our next shipment. Upon purchase you will be notified of cable status.

I wish to thank everyone here on the Droid Forums for their wonderful support! As such I am happy to begin supplying this FREE cable as per requests from many of our customers. cuskit

UPDATE: 6' MicroUSB Cables are no longer free - they require an additional $4.00 if requested.

The following is just a small sampling of the comments that make me feel proud of this very unique product I invented and build myself that has NO COMPETITION!

And I can with all honesty say it's made right here in the good ol' USA! New Jersey, in fact - where my custom wood shop is located!

HUGE!!! Hopefully you can invent something to really attach the cable to the cradle!

Tigger,

MIKRADLE was designed specifically for use with ALL covers. Attaching the usb cable to it would essentially begin restricting the use of some/all covers - a self defeating move. The popularity of MIKRADLE has come primarily from this freedom, and certainly has not been an issue to date. Other stands on the market are enjoying their success also due to this unrestricted freedom - MIKRADLE has kind of set the standard with this inherent design.

I've decided to include this FREE cable as many users like to connect to their computer and having a secondary cable facilitates not having to move their AC charger/cable room to room. mike

Update Statement for potential buyers:

Given the issues that can be had with magnets (sources, placement, size and quality), I would like to point out that all MIKRADLES have been physically tested with almost EVERY case available, and to date it works magnificently with all. No need to slide left or right to induce the Multimedia Mode, nor make adjustments in any way, shape or form due to the different sizes of covers. Thickness is totally irrelevant also - when I proudly claim that MIKRADLE "DOES", I mean that in every positive respect!

I thrashed this design around for weeks and weeks, fabricating several prototypes, cutting, sizing, changing both the design and structure over and over. It was important to take into consideration all variables, including the size, strength and placement of the magnet. I found all magnets are NOT created equal, and did not try to lower my standards with sub-par magnets. Motorola does supply a different sized magnet with their dock. But this is because it was specifically designed for use without a cover and for a Droid that would be "locked" into a precise position. It is not the one I needed for my planned purpose - to accommodate a Droid clad with a protective cover. With the magnet supplied - my MIKRADLE works. Flawlessly. No "ifs, ands or buts" about it! I did my homework well before releasing this design. No fear that you will have any adverse effects with your Droid. I measured the minimal and maximum exposure possible with magnets, and when production started - I knew exactly which was the optimum for the proper use in MIKRADLE.

I'd also like to add that I am also accommodating the Motorola cases that utilize the snap fixture on the back of the case for ease of switching from belt clip to car mount. I offer a modified model (at no extra cost) that has provisions for the snap that protrudes out the back of the case cover - enabling owners to leave their "snap" cases on when placed on the MIKRADLE. Should any owner purchase this Motorola cover after receiving their MIKRADLE, all they have to do is ship it back to me and I will modify it or exchange it (for free) and ship it back (at my cost) to you! Again - NO NEED REMOVE ANY COVER with my product!

It can't be more simple than this - casually place your Droid (covered or naked) onto the MIKRADLE. Multimedia will appear. No spacers. No shifting left a 1/4". No shifting right a 1/4". No pads beneath the phone. Just SET IT ON THE MIKRADLE. You will see for yourself - MIKRADLE Does!

I am very proud of all the above compliments - more so those that commend my service, and will continue to strive for the highest standard in supplying the best service available for my products! For any reader that has ever dealt with any service related position - they will understand the commitment and dedication that allows for this gesture of a service oriented goal. This was the driving decision also to now include the FREE High Quality 6' MicroUSB Gold Plated Cable! When my customers speak - I listen! Thank you. mike

I wish I would have seen this thread two hours ago when I ordered a dock off Amazon.com with the extra battery charger, then I wouldn't have to go through all the trouble sending it back because I just ordered it!!!! lol This Dock is EXACTLY what I'm looking for, beautiful AND functional. Thanks for taking the time to build something like this for us.
