INCREDIBLE DOCK AVAILABLE! MIKRADLE EVOLUTION Series is here (Photos)!

EDIT: See Post #115 for all the latest photos of all available colors in the MIKRADLE EVOLUTION Series lineup! mikey

Okay - it sure took long enough, but I've finally got photos for posting. This is the MIKRADLE EVOLUTION Series, a subtle but definite departure from the original Classic Series. There has been a significant number of changes.

Obviously, the look has changed - updated to a more contemporary look. The side panels have lost their sweeping radius and have slimmed down, gaining a sleek look to them, with an emphasis on angles rather than curves. The back rest now includes a featured inlay stripe. It is recessed to allow clearance for the protruding camera lens on the Motorola Incredible. Rather than a specific location of a recessed and dedicated area for this particular camera lens, I elected to emphasis this purpose with an inlayed horizontal stripe which would not appear to be proprietary for a single phone.

Gone is the solid lower shelf with it's dedicated cutout for a MicroUSB cable. Instead, the MIKRADLE EVOLUTION Series has a new and exciting array of chromed steel rods employed for supporting your Smartphone. Imparting a high tech and contemporary look to the phone - they are unique in that they are removable. The spaces between centers of these rods allows for great versatility relative to the wide variety of USB Cable port locations. But should you have a phone in which one of these rods impede the exit location of a cable, simply remove that particular rod! Viola! No more discarding your dock when you buy a new phone! No need to purchase new - just utilize this novel feature to accommodate any cable port location!

I'll point out at this point that this same approach to accommodating most phones also facilitates the use of all covers as well! Due to this open design - the use of both hard and soft covers is allowed and encouraged, increasing the versatility of this dock tenfold.

The side panels, other than their new, more sleek look, have also gained utility purpose. They are now flush with the back rest - purposely designed this way so as not to impede any exiting of cables on either side of the phone while in either a horizontal or vertical position. This includes audio as well as charging and syncing cables.

The chromed steel rods will allow for installing your phone in the horizontal position as well as vertical - your choice! No turning your head to an awkward position to read sideways text or photos laying on their sides - you simply rotate the phone to whichever position is convenient for the display you wish to view!

All MIKRADLE EVOLUTION Series will have the black felt applied to the backrest. This includes the wood toned colors as well as the solid black (pictured) and the latest color to join the fold - solid white. The solid white is available with a white felt applied, though only be special request (black felt is standard).

For now - the inlay horizontal stripe is a solid strip of brushed aluminum, with a clear lacquer coating to protect it from corrosion. Down the road, I will be offering this inlay in custom metals and unlimited colors as well as customized engraving. Should any wish to have a company name, brand, logo, phone model, owner name, etc., including any text phrase - this option will be available by special order, and with an additional charge to be determined in the near future.

This new MIKRADLE EVOLUTION Series is designed to work with just about every smart phone currently available, including the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch. Because of the open design of this series, no cable port location restrictions allow for this freedom. For those who would like to purchase this model for use with a Motorola Droid, be aware that it will NOT be offered stock with a magnet to automatically induce the Multimedia mode, you will have to request to have the magnet installed. Obviously the MIKRADLE EVOLUTION Series does accommodate the Moto Droid (pictured), but I've elected not install the magnet as this cradle accommodates so many different phones. Note: I will install magnets for those who specifically request it. I will NOT be discontinuing the Classic Series, it will continue to be offered as an supplementary line to the MIKRADLE EVOLUTION Series and as always will have the magnet installed.

I was just saying to Hook Bill a few minutes ago I hadn't heard much from you, then I look and see you just came out with the Mikradle Evolution. I like the style of it a lot. Looks like another winner my friend.

HELLS YEAH!! I knew it would be a good decision to buy it sight unseen.

It looks better than I imagined. My wife is going to love her cherry one.

Looks great there Mike. Definite departure from the classic one, but I like it. Now it looks like I'm going to have to get one of these too!! Oh well, it's for a good cause. Great job, and again, excellent work on the design and build.

Mikey,
You hit it out of the park again. What can I say? It's classic yet stylish. It even goes a step forward and has an edge to it. Great job, man.

Beautiful design! Looks really well done.

[wuyanks]

it must've been tough to account for multiple charging ports... it's a really intuitive design... great job

Well, my wishes have been granted! I'm receiving an overwhelming response to this new Series! I want to thank all those who have posted compliments here as well as the tons of e-mails I'm receiving hourly! Wow! I had hoped for an enthusiastic response, but never in my dreams expected this volume of orders! I can't keep up with the email confirmations going out! I need a break! Thanks so much! It's well worth all the untold hours I spent getting this model to the point of production. Happy Sigh.. mikey
